PDFs with embedded bitmaps can actually do that (and are currently supported widely, but PDFs are a terrible format with way too much attack surface). Same for any other composite html+whatever formats like epub. Standardizing a non-book format name and a spec that mandates nothing more than bare xhtml & image support with no JS or CSS interpreters would probably be quite sufficient.

Duckduckgo caches/proxies the images on its desktop site, which is useful when it gives results for sites that are since dead. Often at a lower resolution, but that's what reverse image searching is for.
I like saving stuff as plain text, and when stumbling upon an old quote or code snippet that I've saved it increases the chance that there is some context as to where it came from.
Here's a link to the addon, maybe someone here finds it useful.

And ultimately that’s sad, because it should 1. Be possible to implement and 2. Should already have been implemented by the platforms.
Last week I struggled to send an Austin powers gif via signal.
Because searching via images on google & ddg forced me to a website (wouldn’t just give me the result) and then those websites did everything possible to NOT give me a gif.
I’m disappointed that this has become the reality of the internet, and I think many people on this site are in the same boat.
